Keeping you updated...

Okay, I really don't have much to talk about, but when I started this blog it was with intentions that I'd keep it fairly updated.



Levi is 6 weeks old, and growing like crazy. He's already well over 10-1/2 lbs. Maybe he'll be tall. I keep saying that he broke the mold in more ways then one. He's the biggest baby that we've had (only by 2 ounces). Of course, he is the only boy, following 4 sisters. He has brown eyes; all of his sisters have blue eyes. So far, he's the fussiest baby that we've had, but that's getting better. I guess he's starting to realize that's okay for me to put him down (even though I'd hold him all day if I could). He's the first one to take a pacifier (Lily didn't take anything, and all the other girls suck their thumb). He's so sweet! I'm really enjoying this little guy.




This past week I've been busy getting my lesson plans and materials put together for the new school year. I'll be homeschooling Lily (1st grade) and Jasmine (Kindergarten). They are both really excited about starting school. Growing up I loved pretending to be a teacher, and now I'm so blessed to be able to teach my children. Just one more thing to occupy my time, as if a new baby wasn't enough. But I like the challenge.




I've been proud of myself lately. I've been staying on top of the housework, having dinner ready for when Jamie comes home, and keeping the kiddos happy and taken care of (that's just a few of the things that I do everyday, but are the most important). This Sunday I'll return to work at the church nursery. Like I mentioned, school will start for us soon. I guess I like for things to stay busy. It's makes me feel important, and needed. It reminds me of who I am. I am a wife, mom, teacher, chef, caregiver, daughter, sister, friend,...(you get the point). I know things would manage to get done eventually if I wasn't taking care of it, but right now I'm happy to be the one in charge of them.
